Thanks ChrisR I'll bear that in mind but it is difficult as a punter to distinguish between someone from the Catherine Tate school of plumbing and the good school of plumbing - you just hope that if they are Corgi registered that that should be enough. Sounds like I'm going to have to ask a...

Thanks Tony - But unfortunately this has not been the case. Although I have regularly asked during the annual service, I have also asked on two occasions when I've had to call an engineer out for repairs following a system cut out due to low pressure and a boiler failure (which was just last...

Thanks for all your help and advice. After 6 years of putting up with hot/cold showers in the summer (when the heating is off) I can hopefully get it fixed. I've always asked about this problem when the boiler was being serviced and been met with blank looks and told it shouldn't be...
